1968 Huffy Camaro

[RetroMan]

Hi guys!
I am new to the forum and just starting to get into bikes. This is my second find which seems to be mostly complete. I would like to find an original saddle and a better head light Bezel for it; but its good enough for now. I have done some research on it and the serial# states its a 1968. On other forums they say nothing about boys bikes being available In purple this year, but mine is. That is sort of attracted me to it.
Fun and funky with a bit of rust.

Beautiful find! 8)

Probably the original tires.....cars in the late 60's had that type of whitewall pattern.

Nice! Did you pick this up in Minneapolis?

 

[RetroMan]

Yes, as a matter of fact I did get it near Minneapolis; in Bloominton. Seems to be 98% original. The seat is not correct for sure. I am almost certain the tires are orig, I saw vintage ads with the bikes in these type of tires. I may have found a way to replicate the headlight bezel. I discovered that with CAD geometry one can print a part out with a 3D printer in metals or plastic. I am hiring a guy I work with to model a new bezel for me to see if it works.

By the way thanks all for the nice compliments.

It's definitely cool. I am from Duluth and saw it on the mpls Craig's.
The color is wild.

By the way thanks all for the nice compliments.

Is your bezel cracked or something? Other than fading, it looks fine to me. If you are succesful in reproducing these, I would be interested in buying two of them.
